Mom Visit!! Day 4: Paradise @ Mt Rainier and Snoqualmie Falls

We spent the night in Morton (half way between St Helens and Rainier). It was a little tiny town, and the hotel we stayed out looked like one in a horror movie. The view was MUCH nicer in the daytime, but at night, it was spooky!! My supervisor, Lisa, is from there...explains A LOT about her ;) hee hee. We then drove about 2 1/2 hours to Rainier and had some minor encounters with the wildlife.

We did a little big of hiking at Paradise. I wanted to show her some wildflowers and the waterfall...
